April 2012 witnessed  3 BSNL telephone exchanges destroyed by fire causing huge loss to the company and much inconvenience to the subscribers.

1. A major fire broke out on April 13, in the Exchange in Bhopal situated at Royal Market causing huge loss. It took many hours for the Fire Force to put the fire under control.

2. On April 18, another major fire broke out in Navrangpura Telephone Exchange in Ahmedabad destroying more than 20,000 local connections.

3. Maoists torched Alamanda exchange in Odisha on 22nd April causing much loss.
